Lancia Beta: Collector's Guide Hardcover – March 21, 1992

I remember seeing these cars brand new at the Chicago Auto Show and thinking they were gorgeous. Unfortuntely Lancia is little know here in the USA - but they have a great reputation in Europe as a sporting car with class. I bought this book to help with a restoration of a Beta coupe and found it helpful. I would have preferred a more detailed buyers guide or restoration section, which is sadly a very skinny portion of this book.

It's not easy to explain the Lancia Beta. "Top Gear" hates it, but in fact, despite some rust issues, the cars are a blast to drive, stylish, and cheap to buy.The writer gives a good accounting of the car, its development, and various models.
